UEFA did Drogba for swearing at the camera after the Barca semi.
If you want to talk about consistency, how deafening is the silence over Vidic not getting a second yellow when he earned it?
When Luiz got away with it against United it was the issue of the week. United had been robbed and it was all down to refereeing. But United get the benefit of a similar decision and everything is fine.
Drogba called into question ghe integrity of the ref whilst swearing. You omitted that bit. Micah Richards swore post match in a FA Cup match a couple of years ago and no action was taken. Redknapp told Rob Palmer to f**k off in an interview, again no action.
That wasn't a yellow card for me. Similar to Luiz's first on Hernandez if anything. Nothing on it really.
EE, if this was somethig new you could've had United fans going mental about Bernstein, but United's reputation goes before them and always has. Hazard of being the biggest club in the world.
Rio misses a drug test - 8 month ban and 50k fine.
Negoui (sp) misses a drug test - 2k fine
Rooney and Scholes get sent off in Amsterdam pre season tournament - both receive bans
Gerrard and Mellor get sent off in the same tournament a year later - no ban.
I see today Wenger has had his latest "fixture list is fixed" rant and is questioning the authority's integrity. Wonder what he'll get. I won't hold my breath.
Just a couple of examples of the rubbish we have to put up with.
